    The Lone Ranger

    Reviewed by

    Aside from the obvious upstaging of the Lone Ranger character by Tonto, this is a well put together rendition of an American icon, surpassing every DC comics' attempts at breathing life into 2D caricatures of heroes entrenched in marketed upsells. The CGI was flawless, cinematography superbly executed except for the overinvolved convoluted multiple train sequence near the end of the movie, and the details to costuming to the TV series historically (not authentic history but Hollywood's) was fabulous. The fascinating retelling through "Indian" eyes, as is with great fables from their culture, doubled the entertainment value of this film. The Lone Ranger persona deserves better parity and less "Brendan Fraser" silliness but that may come in the next film so long as the budget allows freedom to equal the eye standards set in this one. (This needs to be seen on the screen first, for sure) People have complained about the plot but it is one that has been with us forever; "The love of money is the root of all evil"; and is delivered in a fun-filled, purposefully humorous dialogue and designed to please the child in all of us. A generally universal success in my book but for the downsizing of the Lone Ranger himself. A true pleasure.
